FAQs
.
Q. What types of files does the CNC support? A. The CNC itself only takes G-Code in a generic text file with an extension of ".txt".
Q. How do I generate g-code for the CNC?
A. There are a couple of different ways.
1. Create a text file with the appropriate G & M Codes.
There is a program reference guide on the shelves back by the machine.
2. Use a wizard to create the g-code for you.
There are a couple of g-code generators listed in the useful links on the main page for the CNC Shop.
3. Use CAM software to create g-code from a 3D model.
MasterCAM is available on the Design Workstation in the CNC area.
Q. What tips would you give in designing a part? A. Design your part with the knowledge that you will need to hold in some fashion while it is being cut. Without proper hold downs it will be very hard to cut you part accurately.
